THE LONDON JOURNALS DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PA. JULY $, 1826. ['ritE -rtmEs.] We recur,' but with caution and - timidity, and with the hope of exciting , no unnecessary pain any where, to themeeting whit h took place in consequence cis the rash words uttered on the hustings at Alnwiek. Tfte consequence th a t f o ll owe d t h ose , words was inevitable ; neither can we deny the forwardness - and cot rage evinced by the offending party, to alloW , to the brave man aggrieved the readiet opportunity of vindicating bis iesulted honour, Nitlt respeetto Mr. Lamhton, we must say, that if he. could have witnessed the anxiety which was universally felt - and displayed for his safety during-his absence, the - heart that :was' un moved by danger would have melted with tendereess. But he did right not to think_ of those whom be bad left behind, among• whoth was one dearer than the Northumberlaed freeholders, and .'who knew bite too well ;the perilous err ind on which he had set forth.— It would, perhaps, have but little soothed the tor turing hours of uncertainty and dread, to have heard, during their continuance, that never before did there exist a cause Tor anxiety, in which so many !par ticipated ; yet it must now be gratifying to learn that it was no private grief that distracted a daughter of the house of Grey, And that the fears which rent a female bosom affected thou- Sands of as manly hearts as ever England bred and this is the more remarkable, as M r . Lambton is trot a man disposed to in favour by soft Speedies and Syco phancy and mean compliances. The universal inte rest in his fate, therefore, could only have spiting from the unbought estimate of his moral worth.---The ab sence of Mr. Beaumont front the hustings was sup- plied by the ready aid of the Itev. Mr. Bird; the gentleman by whom he was educated. The eloquence, therefore, which might have been adulterated in passing through the organic, iatuctnre of the sartsonum, was thus obtained pule at the fountain head of the tutor. Mr. Bird reprobates, as he ought, the practice of- duelling ; but .he seeks, we observe, the (tone of his friend's indiscretion, not in the irrita- tion of the moment, but in long-conceived bi tterness and spleen---in . wrath, on :which Mo re than ". one sun," perhaps more than twenty suns, " had been suffered to go doWn"---in angry feelings, excited, we know not at what distance of time, by anonymous ar ticles in a provincial paper,; . Nor this all that we learn from the tutor's sl eech. tie says that: " he hiapes Mr. Beaomont will be in his place on the bust. ings on Monday to partake of the triumph of his cause 1" What- cause ? we ask- Not his own, 14 at the time when these words were spoken, Mr. Beau mont had no more chance of nieces i than Lord Howick. The cause of the coalition must therefore be meant'; that coalition which Mr. Beaumont Airi owned is here called his cause," and it has triumphed as the tutor predicted. But—few and insincere will be the felicitations on its success. " It is said that arrangements are making at the Post-office to convey letters twice a-day to. all places within 20 miles of the Royal Exchange .1 a regulation which will embrace Windsor, Staines,' Leatherhead, Epsom, Hertford, q•St. Alban's, Reigme, ~ Romford Gravecend, Sic."—Keening Paper,. We learn Oho that a plan is to be propeseti to (lei vertunnt, by it gentleman mi whose iiitelligence great reliance is placed by them, or infinitely more utility, we should conceive, than the preceding. We are anxious, however, it should originate and be carried into elocution in the 'prep& quarter. It is to this effect—merely to pass the letters through London which lie at the General Post-office over the Sunday cif every week. We are no advocates for the violation of the Sabbath, nor would we even mention the pro ject if it tended in any Material degree to so injurious h result. We woidd not On any account' have letters deliVered or received,' on. that sacred day but the merely affording those which are i n th e h ouse a tramit is a totally different thing. I.t. might b e e tud e( ' rri vately and with no great trouble; for it must be recol lected that the vehicles for the' conveyance of the let ters arrive and depart on Sunday to and from London, as well as on'other days, So th:o the poor horses would suffer nothing more.. A few additional cler4s, Or a small additional salary ,to the old ones in succession, would occajon ,the dispatch of the whole, business long before the tune of divine service ; and the advan tage to the public would exceed all credibility.—Thid. LTHE MOANING HERALD.] Mr. Hunt, who preeiessis no mean share of that shrewd ready understmdin44 which, like smill change , C ilifgeneolly more useful in tln c , aninon concerns of IA than large notes, told smile home truths at Ilehester, winch could not be very ',dateable to many . of hia dience.

Th e country practitioner, however, from less intercourse w ith the trichs and quibbles of the Courts, was fi )r .. inerly less amenable to this opprobrium; _ 4n d f rom a knowledge which he generally possessed of real pro perty, en d o f the wants and habits of his neighbours, passed for a person of more consideration and credit than t h e B ram bl e! , a nd Double.fees of the Inn . ; 01 , Court.

Those opposite events; ,a general election and insol vency (the one, by the by, generally leading to the other), form die favourite haunts of these all-devour ing locusts; and while in both instances they profit as much by their own blinders as by their rapacity, the silly sheep, as Sir Robert Walpole describes the country gentlemen of hi:; time, stand stupidly quiet to be flattered and fleeced, by those who in the end often purchase the estates which they have first dilapidated. I'hat Mr. Hunt Bhould have teal the courage to de dare war against and oppose this numerous and powerful body, 'is an offbnce that will not readily be forgiven ; but if it has, as it probably will have, the effect of in sonic degree stopping their career, and opening men ' s ey'S to some of their practices, it will not have formed one of tire least of those advantages which the plain-spoken period of an deeti Ant gives rise to. [THE rams.] The affairs of Colombia , have now assumed a cha racter which again 'renderS them highly interesting, and the holdera of Colombian 'Bon& Must look for some time with considerable' anxiety to the news Which maybe expected from that quarter. The' revelt of General Paez, though it does not, tend precisely to the overthrow of the present Government, is likely, notwithstanding, to occasion diStuibances which may he productive of very considerable danger, and will render impracticable all thoSe plans which Bolivar is supposed. to have formed for assisting the Buenoa- Ayreatis against their Brazilian enemies, tt is now a considerable time since we inserted in the , Brili,s4 Press an article, in which we endeavoured to show that the same causes which had produc eel international 'disputes iii Europe., would pro duce the same effects in the Western hemiSphere.---; While America hid only to contend With. one 'ene my, she continued united, and directed all her efforts against the great :object of her jealousy but since that enemy has ceased' to annoy her, since com mon danger no longer united'the different States in a common league, the more immediate interests of the separate Governments have naturally , developed them selves, int(' have produced that collision which we anticipated among the different members of the Ame rican family. , It is thus that 'the various portions of Colombia have continued united hitherto, without attempting to separate ; but no sooner has the Spanish power been completely overthrown in South America, than the States which compose that Republic begin to perceive that they have other interests besides those which induced them to combine against Spain ; and although military rivalship and , private ambition have done touch, no doubt, in bringing about the late events in Venezuela, we consider the whole. .of the circumstances to he 'convincing proofs of.theatecuracy of our views with regard to the probability of dis putes about to tak e place in South America. At thi . same time, the very reasoning which led us to form that opinion, must tend in a great degree te allay the alarm which might be excited by any such distur bances. These events are not of a nature to produce any of those, extensive revolutions in the state of these nations, to which we have been accustomed during the last forty years. Their contests will now subside into 4 species of warfare similar to that which was; ;twat in Europe before the French B evolution, which generally' teronnated by leaving hoth Inioiefi equally enfetA,Aed, and : vvatl,prudmEtiw nn result treater than the exchange of one . petty di:Arict fur another, or a. slight extension, perhaps, of territory on the one side of a disputed frontier. The contest in' Colombia is do mcstre, and seems to have for its object rather thein troduction of a federative system of government than the dismemberment of the Colombian territories. The chief features of the dispute arc not extremely different from those which have distinguished the contest about Monte Video. hi both t.,e;e:; the question whether a particula r dist r ict A u lt continue, under one tioyern mem, or be separated'from it ; and the causes of. both are the same---the contending interests of large dis tricts, which, Make them inclined to plaCe themselves in a situation to maintain their particular interests, without being associated with and infirm:iced by other States, possessing other interest. In this state of things, as in All great changes, after the main objects have been accomplised,' there are ayariety of little ,points to be adjusteda certain balance of advantages and disadvantages to be fixed—something to be ac complished, similar to those drainings which it is necessary to - make, in' order to carry Or the writer lodged in separate . hollows after a' flood--before things can he restored to a tranquil and unembarrassed course ; and this process may occasion trifling dis putes, which may turn out of considerable; lenbith, but. not of a nature to produce extensive iniachief. Republic of Colombia,' as obvious from the state ment which we published lately, is by no me ans i tt sso flourishing a condition as some have fancied. Extra vagant ideas have been entertained concerninr , the prosperity of the' Snub American States, and it. is likely that facts will be necessary to correct: theSe ideas; but a steady and sober view of their will tend as much to allay the groundlm slams entertained on the subject, as it will be sure to mllu dia. . pel all nhiie nOOOll3 convening; their inihounded affluence.

This was an &Idiot' of trespass, for taking with force and violence certain property .out of a ship - of which!the plaintiff was toaster. It appeared that the cargo in question had hero shipped by Mr. Thornton front New South Wales, e4nsigned to tho house, of ilupky and Litigum in London. When the Ship arrived at Gran/mud, the plaintiff gave the bill of Wing to the eensignee3, but refused to give gp the goods unless :paid his freight; *hereupon, Ifopley and f,.ingant. took out an execution on the goods at, the property of Mc. Thornton, who was their debtor. The grinds were, in consequence thereof, seized by the Sheriff, and sold for 19501. against the consent of the plaintiff, Who wa , i not paid the freight.

The SoLimon-Gen teat.'moved, on behalf of the plaintiff, Mt. John Murray, the bookseller,. for .an injunction; to restrain the defendants froM selling, or. otherwise disposing of, certain en gravings mentioned in the pleadings. Mr. Murray having pur chased a poem' ftom• the Rev. Mr; Crabbe, determined to have it illustrated by engravings taken from designs coedited by Mr. Westall. accordingly employed Mr. heath as.engraver, and paid hint a sum of £OOOl. Gtr his labour. During the progress of the work the engravings were introduced into it from time to time. Mr. Until, however, unfortunately became a bankrupt, and the other defendants, who were his assignees, proposed to sell some of these engravings, contending that - Mr. ileatly had a right to retain a given number of impressions to his own use, which they insisted on disposing of as part of his property, for the be •nefit of his creditors. Rut this was a claim for which there could he no foundation. If a man were the owner of a fine paint ing or drawing, and employed an engraVer to engrave a plate from it, and• if he paid him for. his labour in so doing, he (the Solidtor- General) was at a loss to. know what right that engraver bad to appropriate to his own use a given number of the impressions. If he employed a - printer to print a hook for him, what right would the printer have—so he was paid for his labour—to retain a given number of copies of the work to himself? Or suppose he em ployed an artist to form arnould,..for the purpose of taking casco of some rare subject of antiquity, why shoold the modelist be allowed to keep 10 or 15 of the Venue's that were to emerge from the mould which he had been paid for coediting? • Mr.- llestn.—Fifteen• Venus's would be too many fok him to keep.,—(Laughter.) • The SOLWITOR-OEN TAAL. , then, 12, or $, or 10.

It 'was very well boos the value of a work was ditnlniehed in proportion aa the impressions were tunnel OM, and increased in proportion as they were sere ; why, then, should the Millet be al liberty to reduce the value of it, If he were paid for his'? rot in , stance, the late T/r biibthorpe, professor of botany et Oxford, who had travelled 'much in Greece, imblishol a very veritable work , entitled Flora Cretan, and to tender it of still greater value, he directed a very limited number of copies to he struck off, just enough to enable him to supply the libraries of Oxlbttl and Cam !. bridge Universitien, Lord Speneer, and a few 'others, with' one eerie ; and he then, to prevent the possibility of other impresstions being taken o 0 had the plate* destroyed. Now, it Ives to be sup posed that when the doctor iiitninteel his .engraver that h e wan only to strike off no or 40 copieS, in order to render it a rare work, the Later would have a right to say that lie would keep 10 or 12 copies to himself? A learned friend of his, Mr. &Aland, had had a scarce old black letter honk reprinted, and in order to preserve its value, lie had restricted the number of copies to 50; but whit would he have said if the printer told him--" You may have 50 copies it you please, but 1 will have 12 for mYself." He only mentioned these cues as Illustrations of the absurdity of the alleged custom amongs t engravers of keeping a number of proof impreasions tai their own use. Now, the proof impressions were limited, he mu dergtood, to U) or 40 (he bed supposed 100, but he fouled he WAR mititaken), and these were the most valuable class of impres sions, because cacti sueceeding set Were growing fainter; if, 'there foie, the engraver were to keep back 10 or 12 front this set, he . would materially diminish the value of the work. Perhaps if an eminent artist were to say that he bad been iu the habit of keep , ing back one impriyhhion of each of hist.plates, for the piper of forming a collection of specimen* of his own Works, it might seem an ill-natured thing to refuse him permission to do so although evert he (the Solicitor-General) denied that he had any'right tcrit.

Mr. Sergeant VAmittaii opened the cage upon the part of the claimanti; fi.oM which it appeared that they were' pos4aird of very considerable leasehold property, held under the Chapter of St. Katharine's, the fee-simple of which had already been' pur chased by fire 'St. Katharine Dock Company, and which pro perty Was required for- the purposes of the Act. ' The amount of the demand for the leasehold interest was 22,094/. which included a claim of about 4,000/. fur the supposed value of an alleged pre scriptive right of reneWal at the expiration of every 12 years.. With respect to the value of time naked leasehold interest, the dif ference lictween the claim and the estimate by the Dock Conips.ny, was not very great, the demand being 19,6381. while the esti mated: value by the Dock Company was 17,180/. The Dock Company.liad, three months ago, proposed to the claimants to refer their Claim to arbitration, which had been declined; and the Jury were then called upon to assess the amount of compen sation' of right due to Messrs. llirst and Company under the pro visions of the Act. The point at issue, it appeared, was one of magnitude to the Doek Company, as it involved a question as to whether the lat ter could legally he called upon to pay, in addition to the .value oldie leasehold interest, any sums of money in the shape of corn.: pensatiOn for an alleged prescriptive right of renewal; the Dock Company contending, that inasmuch as the leases contained no 'i!hvenaut to renew, the measure of value was to be determined !),y the legal expiration of the terms in each of the leases respec tively. The estimate of the value of th e le ase h o ld int ere st pro ceeded upon the 5 per cent. table, the principle of which, con sidering that the sale was a compulsory one, was assented to by the Dock Company but some items, amongst which 1,283/. for a reversionary interest, and 629/. for the premium which it was alleged the lease of the Punch-howl public-house, part of the pro perty in question; was worth, was objected to by Mr. Adam, the leading Counsel for the Dock Company, who denied the :right of the claimants to any compensation on account of the sup posed right of renewal, and rested his case upon the evidence of the claimants. The Ilxrn Ea SUP:RIFF summed up the case ,to the Jury, and expressed a de6ded opinion that the claimants had no legal right whatever to compensation on account of the alleged custom of re newal.. • The Jury withdrew, and, after a short consultation, gave a ver diet for 17,900/., deducting therefore from the claims the 4,0001. the amount of the dcinand made for renewal, expences, kc., 1,214:31, for,reVersionary interest, and 629/. for the premiums upon the lease of the pnblicAotiae,'being in the whole 6,993/. less than thesum eltimed, and negativing the right Of renewal. Five other cases' stood for trial, the adjustment of four of which had been resisted . by the Dock CoMpany upon the same grounds, with respect ' to' the right of renewal; and the question having been determined by the decision of the jury in the previous.case, the parties agreed to take verdicts for the amount, if the Dock Company's estimates, made in each of the cases, had been made upon the five per cent. tables. In the other case a demand was made by the proprietor of a publihouse in Little Thames street, SL Katharine's, for leasehold interest and good-will, amounting to 2,628/.
